I just bccome more mellow with age,all the people round me are the grumpy ones

[Gary Bagshawe]

well ive just given up smoking today so hate everybody and everything so yall can get stuffed!!! Ive had a go at three big issue sellers today all within half a mile of each other and 1 survey type bod asking if I could give a couple of minutes of my time, And orangepeel, you live in Scotland..... what other sort of weather do you get up there but rain?

[Rob Barron]

Well, just to help make life better for Gary: matey, we're proud of you for taking this difficult step. Remember, you have given up smoking for today. That's enough. When you get up tomorrow morning, give up for tomorrow! That is the only way to view it as thinking 'I am giving up for life' makes it seem much harder.

I am an ex-40 a day man and promise you faithfully it DOES get better and when it gets better by golly does it get better. it makes it all worthwhile I guarantee it!

Keep it up matey and anyone else who has made a resolution to stop smoking.

This isn't a very grumpy message but I don't care so.... sod off the lot of you <g>

Cheers,
Rob
